Randy’s Pick

The Oklahoma City Thunder in the underdog role is intriguing because they’re a super talented young team that should be a playoff contender. So getting free points consistently with a good team has value. With that said, the Cleveland Cavaliers are at home and got a shot in the arm with a last second win over the Nets. The Cavs should have a pep in their step heading into this contest. The Cavs have won 4 of the last 5 meetings against the Thunder. We’re not being asked to lay anything crazy. Give me the Cavaliers and the chalk.
